your plan for geting rich would most likely be starting a manufacturing company..all engineering will be done in India....all production will be done in China and all products shipped back the the US for jobless americans to not be able to buy them...then you will complain to the government that you are going broke because of the economy and that the government needs top give you 500 million dollars because you need a 450 million dollar bonus for having an American owned company...lol

Tax what you don't want, don't tax what you want. That's completely true. Businesses, oil, manufacturing companies, and coal are being taxed. Our president obviously does not want them or doesn't know how to get them to stay. If I do start a big business, it won't be here unless things change. I'd go bankrupt. No use in helping a country that doesn't want to help itself..... Does anyone know any other way to tell the difference between species besides genetic testing?

Americans are going to India to start businesses. They having a growing economy with rising wages, so there are potential customers. You are right about incentives making a difference. We should think carefully about every incentive & penalty we write into law. However, when you are trying to balance a budget, you have to tax where the money is. There aren't enough rich individuals and the poor don't have enough income. Exxon Mobil earned 36 billion in a year, so obviously energy is going to be a tax hike target. And while manufacturing and even refining can be moved overseas. Production of oil & gas from under the US ground and coastal waters can't. Spending heavily to influence the election likely got the energy sector a negative return on investment. Shareholders should be angry at the waste.

Did you read about the UK trying to up the tax on google and amazon? So much of the world is having budget trouble, countries are switching from trying to lure companies to trying to tax every entity that does business on their soil. Foreign companies are a popular target. Expect more international anti-dodging tax treaties.

What's this "no use in helping.." nonsense. We are not in the end-times. You have to live here for decades more or go play golf in the Caymans with Bush. Do something for your neighborhood, your town, your church, your country because you are selfish and want to live in a better neighborhood, town, church, country. Don't lock yourself in a gated community and throw away the key because you might accidentally help someone else.

I love my country. Just my big business that I don't have is not going to save the country. It'll bankrupt me. I personally think we are close to the end times, but that is what most generations have thought, so I'm not too sure. All I know is that the dollar is likely to collapse within the next 4 years and will probably be almost worthless. Gold will be close to worthless too. Food, water, guns, and ammo are what will be valuable. Also, Obama is printing more money. What happens when they make more money? The money in your pocket becomes worth less. Obamacare. Gonna make our country even more broke. Romney had the right idea. Cut funding to organizations the we don't need. Planned parenthood should be #1. KVIE, solar panels (which were a BIG FLOP!), and most of the green energy companies. We have oil and plenty of it. Loha, it's sad, but at the rate our country is going, I probably will be forced to move. On to the streets is more likely than India, but I'd choose India. I personally have noticed that the U.S. is becoming more and more hostile towards christians which is what I am, and persecution is close. The schools are also using propaganda. Highschoolers are taught to dance in an immoral way. I heard that in CA, schools did a gay day. Boys dress in girls clothes, girls dress in boys clothes. That is wrong to do that. Again I say, this country is going down the wrong path. If I could help save my country, I would. I had plans to join the military too. I don't know now because of the way our country is going. No use helping people who won't help themselves is true.
